What Do You Think of Giveaways with Large Contributor Values Needed to Enter?

I see no valid reason for that, let everyone choose the value they want on their contributor giveaways. I am cool with it.

Let them choose, when you create a giveaway choose $200 or $225.

They choose what they want and everything works out fine.

There's not really a reason why the giveaway's creator shouldn't be allowed to set the contributor requirement as high as they want. Sometimes they do it thank those people who have been especially generous. Instead of complaining you should contribute more if you want to enter those giveaways. I think it's a good thing this system encourages people to contribute by allowing high contributor requirements for giveaways.

Great. It provides a reward for the people who really keep the site running with piles of games, and offers incentive to others.

People who make $2,000+ giveaways could just do them private. They know who's entering. They just want to flaunt it. And don't get me wrong, it's awesome that they've amassed that value, but still. Makes me feel like a chump.

As far as contributor value for an average giveaway, I'd say whatever is just below my contrib value at any given time is best. :P

I think if someone purchases a game with their own money, they can give it away however the fuck they want. If you don't think it's reasonable, then it's because you're not the target audience.

I think people can choose whatever amount they want considering it's their game to give away.

Because people with small contrib mostly are exploiters, stupid, annoying, unrespectful, or ungrateful and giveaway creators don't want to deal with all that.

I'd say, go for +300 contrib always, and rise it by a hundred every year.

I think it's sometimes stupid because those people probably just want to show how much they contributed, when they spent $2000 on games to give aways they probably don't win games to get them.

But it's ok because a) they are rare and b) people can decide who they want to get their games.

For lower requirements ($100 - $1000) I think what other said, people that gave that much probably will be more grateful.

Where the hell did you get 225 x____x

I don't care and move on.

I really do like those $2000+ giveaways :-P

I think all giveaways should be capped at $745.37. lol ;p

It's a nice incentive to help people give games. If you are able to enter giveaway that less can join, and that being solely because you have given away more, is fine. There would be a crazy amount of leechers if all the giveaways were open and no option for a contributor value.

Opinion varies but I'm not too bothered either way. So long as there isn't a sudden rush for everyone to start making all their giveaways at the max capped value, then we're all included in something so everyone still gets something in the end (Eventually).
I do appreciate seeing values scaled to the expense or rarity of the giveaway though. I might cringe at someone requiring $600 for a game that only costs $3, but the same value on say a collection costing $70? Then it makes more sense to me. Earn your way to expense, logic and reasoning and all that.

Its their game, they should be able to give it away anyway they want to. What right do you have to tell people what to do with something they own?

I don't really care about high contributor value giveaways (although I think they are insanely high), but I think there should be an obligatory minimum contributor value to enter giveaways which should be equated to the value of the game.

I think $50 is perfect. For users who've invested and contributed but not spend their whole pocket money on one homepage XD.

Weee!

i think the people who enter the giveaways with 500+ contributor needed are the ones who really deserve to win

Today i was exited because i saw a Dishonored giveaway. But then i saw i needed a contributor value of 1500. That made me a sad panda.

I don't mind.

I actually like a smaller audience - say, 50 people instead of 2000. This is why I do mostly contributor giveaways and group/private ones.

No.

Rarely I see something over $200. Oh, registered two weeks ago and already have problems with like what? 3% giveaways he can't enter due to the contribution? Oh my...

They can make the contribution value how fucking high they want!
